The latest update. We sailed to our first victory in over 10 knots Saturday with a win in the first race of our Blue Gavel Regatta. We raced three windward leewards in 10-18 knots to a 1, 3, 4 of 7 boats and a second overall. The win came in 12-14 and we outpointed and outpaced a J27, a J29 complete with new sails and a ringer skipper onboard as well as a Frers 33, Olson 34 and a few others. We were high handicap and finished first across the line in this race. Great improvement with the increased rake being the only change of consequence (and a better than normal mainsheet trimmer). Can anybody give me technical details such as part numbers on the replacement blocks for the backstay? I think it is our next major improvement. |
